    The 'If You Still Need to Purge Yourself Of Ange' Thread

    It's turned into a pointless kind of thread. The Ange debate just goes round in circles with he same arguments rehashed time and time again. Neither side of the argument is ever gonna change their opinion and we all just need to accept that and move on. I understand the reason for starting this...

    Things we hate about modern football

    Great, we all want to hear from a disgruntled barely literate player who has just been subbed. Who comes up with these ideas?

    Expectations for 25/26

    Our squad at the moment is top 8. A couple of good additions could make it top 5/6. My main expectation (or hope at least) is that we look like a functioning team again. One which can defend with competence whilst carrying an attacking threat. It's been a while since we had both.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    This is a good appointment. I feel we can atleast now approach the coming season with some optimism. A couple of 1st team additions and we should be looking at top 6. I think top 4 would be a step to far but you never know.

    Yeah, the 'will to win' thing only seemed to be effective under a certain set of circumstances. Those being; Poor to average opposition. Deploying abysmal anti-football tactics. Some reliance on lady luck. Losing was pretty much normalised in all other scenarios. Not really a sustainable...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    Or Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Kieran Mckenna? At least it would be a long list to choose from...

    I think that's a stretch. Top 8 for sure, but would need a couple of high quality additions (wide forwards most importantly) to have a chance at top 4.

    Well done Levy, common sense prevailed in the end. The Europa win no doubt muddied what would have otherwise been a very easy decision. No idea who the new man will be, but just hoping to see some structure and a team who can defend with competence and attack with purpose in the same game...

    Champions League 24/25

    What a performance in a Final this is. Mbappe must be gutted!

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    My apologies, next time I'll use the exact quote to avoid offence. But whatever the actual wording was it has been used as a further justification of our horrific league form this calender year on top of the injury situation. As I said, I think we all accept it was happening from Frankfurt...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    To be honest, I took that comment with a pinch of salt. Basking in the glory of Wednesdays victory it's very easy to say "oh yeah, it was all a masterplan where I binned off the league to give us the best chance to win this." Would he have said that if we'd lost the game? Doubtful, he'd have...

    Yes, we won the Cup this season. We also finished 17th this season. All fans are delighted we won the Cup. All fans (I would hope) are disappointed we finished 17th. Winning the Cup means we can live with or even forget that we finished 17th this season. Which is great. They key here is that...

    Fair play Steff, and the errors he made against United in that game were down to playing out from the back. I remember being surprised at how solid he was otherwise when he came into the team as I was bricking myself at the prospect beforehand!

    Some fair points there @thfcsteff. But I just wanted to come out in defence of Fraser Forster. You think he cost us at least 9 points? I just double checked and he has started just 7 league games; 1-1 Fulham H 1-0 Bmouth A 3-4 Chelsea H 0-5 Southampton A 3-6 Liverpool A 1-0 Forest A 2-2 Wolves...

    Good grief. Those PPG for this season look really bleak when spelt out like that. It's a pretty clear 2 year trend that is totally inexcusable no matter what sort of spin or context anyone wants to attach to it. Whilst I don't think that trend would continue next season (that would be close to...
